Somehow, during the fifteen-minute walk to the train station this morning, it managed to rain twice. Lovely English weather for you. The past two weeks of my research have been fantastic. I’ve interviewed more midwives than anticipated and learned so much about maternity care in the UK. Unfortunately, doing research with human participants prevents me … Continued

As I sat on the plane to London today, I talked with some recent high school graduates on their way to study abroad for the summer.

Hellooooooo blogosphere, the infinite chasm into which college students pour the details of their world travels and moms anxiously read to ensure that their child still lives, breathes, and stays under budget. If you check out my bio, you’ll see that my name is Ms. Nancy Randolph Smith and I am an undergraduate “researcher” from … Continued

I suppose it’s fitting that both my first and last blog posts about Peru have been written on planes. I’m almost through my 24-hour travel extravaganza from my Peruvian home in Cusco to my “real” home in New York, having just taken off from Fort Lauderdale. It’s hard to believe that my time in Peru … Continued

It’s hard to believe that my last week in Peru has already arrived. My experience working at Camino Nuevo and living with my host family has really surpassed any expectations I had before arriving.
